Prayer for Ukraine

So many people around the world are praying for peace in the war happening in the Ukraine. Here is a prayer from the Methodist Church in the UK. Join me in prayer today for the people of Ukraine and Russia.

Holy and Gracious God

We pray for the people of Ukraine and the people of Russia; for their countries and their leaders.

We pray for all those who are afraid; that your everlasting arms hold them in this time of great fear.

We pray for all those who have the power over life and death; that they will choose for all people life, and life in all its fullness.

We pray for those who choose war; that they will remember that you direct your people to turn our swords into ploughshares and seek for peace.

We pray for leaders on the world stage; that they are inspired by the wisdom and courage of Christ.

Above all, Lord, today we pray for peace for Ukraine.

And we ask this in the name of your blessed Son.

Lord have mercy.

Amen.

In His Grip,
Mike Toluba


P.S. Hope to see you Sunday. It’s a big one. We are closing out our series in the book of Philippians, and we are celebrating Holy Communion at the altar for the first time in two years!
